For more than a century, the name Dauvissat has been inseparable from the very soul of Chablis. The story begins with Robert Dauvissat, who first planted vines in these limestone hills, laying the foundation for a family tradition that would become legendary. His son, René, nurtured the domaine through the mid-20th century, a time when Chablis was far from the global treasure it is today. With patience and conviction, he expanded the vineyards and earned a reputation for wines of purity and precision, wines that spoke of stone, sea fossils, and the cool northern light of Burgundy. When Vincent Dauvissat took the helm in 1989, he carried forward this heritage while refining it with his own quiet touch. Respect for nature, careful handwork in the vines, and a philosophy of minimal intervention in the cellar became the guiding principles. The domaine’s vineyards—on the Kimmeridgian limestone that defines true Chablis—are cultivated with deep respect, relying on organic and biodynamic practices to bring out the most authentic expression of each parcel. Today, the estate encompasses just over 11 hectares, including some of the region’s most prized sites: La Forest, Vaillons, and Séchet among the Premiers Crus, and Les Clos and Les Preuses in the Grands Crus. Each vineyard has its own voice—La Forest with its structure and power, Vaillons with its floral elegance, Les Clos with its commanding presence, and Les Preuses with its silken finesse. Now joined by his daughter Étiennette, Vincent continues the work of crafting wines that are both timeless and alive: Chablis that shimmer with minerality, depth, and the ability to age gracefully for decades. Across generations, the Dauvissat family has remained steadfast in its pursuit of authenticity, making wines that embody not just a place, but a legacy.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
